Day - 10

The last blood sugar check last night was 2.6 but I didn’t eat anything after that so this morning it was a bit low, but still above 3 so I was not too worried.

All day today my blood sugar reading seemed good, maybe finally I have got the correct insulin dose. I will try to change the evening one because I still got under 3 after meals and I don’t think that is right.

Today I deviated a bit from the full Japanese diet and I will try to change it bit by bit and try to find the right portion that suits me to keep the weight down. I know it won’t be easy but as long as I’m disciplined and determined I think it will work.

Tomorrow I will go out with other mothers from my first daughter’s class for a get together before summer break. I just hope my blood sugar won’t go crazy. I will try to find the best strategy to keep my blood sugar right even if the main meal comes very late. If not I will just have to do emergency insulin dose.
I think I have to learn to enjoy a night out without getting too nervous about my blood sugar. One bad reading won’t kill me (I hope :-)).

At the moment my husband is torturing me by eating popcorn, oh the smell is so tempting, but I will be strong strong strong….:-).
